Some portable water pumps for 5 gallon bottles are battery powered rather than hand pumped. Most of these pumps utilize two double D batteries which usually last for approximately 6 to 12 months, depending upon how much water you use.
Whether you need this added convenience is completely up to you, as many will find that the old-fashioned hand pumps like the Dolphin work just fine, thank you.
The only downside with the battery powered versions, other than the cost of batteries, is the potential for them to break and need to be replaced more frequently than a manual pump. The dolphin pumps are time tested and will last you a long time for sure.
The best thing about both of these pumps is that they’re easily mobile and do not require the presence of a standalone water dispenser. This is perfect for people who like to bring their fresh water with them on the road during an RV trip, and others who just wish to save money and not buying expensive dispenser.
